So now Glenn Beck is talking about cars.gov
all over facebook video of this description would love to debunk and considering its Glenn Beck should be easy.

here's descript.

From July 31, 2009 According to the posted Privacy Policy, using Barack Obama's Cars.gov site means that your computer belongs to the Federal Government and that all your files and information are theirs for the taking to share with anyone they want "foreign or domestic"

this sounds like craziness

1. Simple - go to cars.gov
...and check it yer own damn self...:P

That's what I did.
Also, bear in mind the gov't can ALREADY access your computer - it was called the Patiot Act, and no Rethugs were griping about it then - guess government snooping is ANOTHER thing that's only bad when Democrats do it.

4. Go to the page, and look thru the privacy policy to see if any such verbiage exists.
I can tell you it doesn't, but nothing beats looking for it yourself.

5. Yes, and if you send that message to 20 people, a special buddy list will pop up.
People are so gullible when it comes to computers.
